To avoid having to get the mounting bolts clean and keep them clean, my solution was to add a short earth cable bolted to the alternator body at one end and bolted to the engine at the other. This bypassed the various pivoting / rusty bolted connections and gives a consistent earth.

Appears to be standard on my SEAC - even the AFM seems to have an original looking earth strap.

My 400SE also had earth straps connecting everything, Inc. the AFM etc.

As I understand it, TVR reduced the build costs drastically when they moved from the wedges to the S series. I can imagine them looking at all those earth straps and thinking "nah, I'm sure we don't need all them". And to be fair they were *almost* right.
